I finished Gizmo’s watercolor portrait, and I must say, I like it much better than the acrylic one. I was able to be much more delicate in depicting him – and he was a very delicate little guy. I think for portraiture (both pet and architectural) that pen and ink with the watercolor or pastel overlay is much more suited to my style. I really need to take an acrylic class and get a better idea of technique.
Gizmo done

So glad you’re happy with your second version! It makes all the extra time worthwhile. Very sweet kitty!

Thanks, Cindy. It’s nice to be happy with a piece, even if it is just for me. LOL

Love it! I have trouble with watercolors! So I completely understand!

Thanks, Momsfun2. It’s funny how we all work better with some media than others. I really want to do better with the acrylic, though.
